Natoptanyi Smacks the River to Bust Derwiche
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
A massive pot of around 50,000 was already in the middle as Imad Derwiche got his last 20,000 in on the turn with the board showing 10♠K♣6♦8♠.
Oleksii Natoptanyi put him at risk from the cutoff with 9♦9♥, but Derwiche had 6♣6♥ for a set of sixes. The river was the 7♣ and Natoptanyi spiked a straight to send a stunned Derwiche to the rail.
"You need to win those hands," a tablemate said.
